This page is "under construction."          We are still planning our Web Design class and putting together resources to share with students and all of our participants at CLUB TNT.          Please check back and watch Mr. B's Web Seminar grow!          THANKS

Many youths are creating personal homepages at sites like MySpace and Facebook - its fun and its a great way to get some experience with Web design.  There are any number of programs and sites that provide easy-to-use templates that allow people to quickly and easily create professional looking Web pages.

Sites like myspace also support custom coding - you can modify their designs and layouts by adding your own HTML.  There are some sites that provide additional templates, generating the necessary code, so that users can easily modify personal Web page at the common social networks.

This Web is an "online text," created for a class in Web design.  The purpose is to provide some "tips and tricks" to help people get started making their own Web pages.  We will review basic principles of Web design using common software - MS Office. 

We will use this software package and MS FrontPage to create personal Web pages.  In the process, we will look at how the Internet and HTML works, search strategies, Web design, basics of graphics and animations, and embedding other document formats and multi-media. 

We will also provide and maintain a comprehensive set of links to other online resources so that students can continue to explore and share Web design and emerging trends on the Internet.  Do you have any links or examples of great Websites or resources that you would like to share?  We'd love to hear from you at webmaster@clubtnt.org
